Implication of Ref-1 in the repression of renin gene transcription by intracellular calcium
1 Feb 2003
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The production of renin, which catalyzes the rate-limiting step of the renin-angiotensin system, is tightly regulated by intracellular second messengers. Among them, an increase of intracellular calcium represses renin gene expression. This inhibition of gene expression by intracellular calcium is exceptional, and the molecular mechanism supporting this phenomenon has not yet been identified. As the...
